The digestion process after a bariatric surgical procedure (I am assuming this is what you mean by "stomach size reduce", in short, will be very different.
The intestines and the stomach take in critical nutrients and vitamins through absorption and this will be affected once the stomach size has been reduced (through a "lap band" procedure where the stomach is banded to make it smaller and thus, the person will feel full after eating only a small amount) and also in more invasive procedures such as the gastric sleeve or gastric bypass.
